Someone mailed back an appropriate piece of my original article.
Now I know what confused everyone: I accidently interchanged two
numbers.  I said (wrongly) that given code similar to

	typedef struct { short i, j; } ty;
	f() { register ty *p; p++->i; }

PCC generated an increment by 4 instead of 2.  The fact is that
PCC generated an increment by 2 instead of 4, and *that* is what
I fixed.

Sigh....
